So basement Bobby and I were talking yesterday, and he saw a documentary about babies. Apparently they use their cute little gummy smiles to ensure their security. As we all know, human babies require a longer period of time for development and more nurturing than babies of other species. Seemingly unrelated, the human baby is the only species that can smile. This is, apparently, so that when the parent sees that little smile, they forget about all the work that goes in to caring for those little guys and just want to continue to nurture and care for them.
My mind flashes back to one of my many sleepless nights in the beginning. I remember hearing Jackson crying on the baby monitor and thinking how much it sucked. But as soon as I saw his little face calm down, look in my eyes and smile at me, I wasn't tired, irritated, frustrated, or hopeless. I was just so happy to have him in my arms, feel is skin, and smell his baby breath. That sneaky bastard.
